Chrome 62 couldn't launch in ubuntu

The latest update of chrome couldn't launch in linux machines.

Our team is seeing this issue as well. Chrome 62.0.3202.62 (stable branch) is failing all builds in aws codebuild (linux container).

The karma output says Cannot start Chrome twice, like @ajithr pasted above.

Is there any workaround / fix / root cause for this?

Maybe this has something to do with #158

That worked for us. Using the solution/workaround @boboldehampsink posted in #158 worked for us.

Thank you!
